Steps Involved

1. Order the Topaz Enterprise Data feature pack, including the latest maintenance, through BMC Compuware’s Product Ordering web page or by contacting your BMC Compuware representative.
2. Ensure your environment satisfies the system requirements and prerequisites specified in Milestone 1: Prerequisites.

3. Install File-AID Services on either Windows or Linux by following the appropriate instructions in Milestone 2: Installing File-AID Services. You will need to access the FAS installation from either the Topaz Enterprise Data media or from the download provided with an RFN order.

   Tip

   No specific login is required to access the Data Privacy perspective within Topaz Workbench. When the File-AID Data Privacy perspective is selected, the currently active user ID determines the Data Privacy role assignment. All roles are assigned at the server level and all repositories within the same server will have the same role assignments.

4. Milestone 3: Installing Topaz for Enterprise Data Client includes instructions for installing the client components for Enterprise Data, including Topaz Workbench with the Enterprise Data option, enabling data access support, installing File-AID/EX and various configuration setups.
5. Milestone 4: Installing Standalone File-AID/EX Execution Server(s) includes the installation of the File-AID/EX execution servers and the File-AID Rules Engine.
6. Milestone 5: Installing Topaz for Enterprise Data Companion Components on Mainframe includes the installation of File-AID and File-AID Executive.
7. In File-AID Data Privacy, users must be assigned Data Privacy roles. Milestone 6: Configuring Data Privacy Security discusses how these roles are used and how they are configured.
